Never trust a company using this

Never trust a company using this! They can charge you whatever they want and they aren’t responsible for their fraud. Square will continue to let businesses commit fraudulent activity and not hold the merchants responsible. I had a $40 golf cart ride less than a mile and after I left was charged $240.00. I was told my Square that it was my fault for not getting a receipt and they couldn’t give me any info on the merchant. I did Apple Pay- phone to phone, how was I suppose to get a receipt… horrible horrible company.

We truly understand how frustrating this must have been for you. Being overcharged is never something anyone should have to go through, and we genuinely feel for you in this situation. While we're unable to share specific details about the merchant due to privacy concerns, we'd like to help you resolve this. We'd encourage you to reach out to your bank and file a dispute for this payment. This way, they'll be able to connect with us directly, and we can work together to understand what happened and make things right for you.

Services are plain and simple

Services are plain and simple. The only bad thing is the fact that I have taken loans and paid them off but you still make excuses on giving me another loan.

Reply from Square US

Thanks for leaving a review! I get why that feels frustrating, especially after you’ve successfully taken and repaid loans before. Our lending decisions aren’t based only on past repayments—there are a bunch of factors that can change over time (like recent account activity, sales patterns, and risk checks), so eligibility isn’t something we can manually override or guarantee.

I have shared your feedback directly with our loans team. There is a possibility they will reach out for more information. Thank you, again!

Square has cost me time, money, and clients

Square has cost me time, money, and customers. The platform routinely breaks at the worst possible times — and when you contact support, they gaslight you. I was told by a manager that their developers had 'no record' of the issues I was experiencing. No record. While I'm scrambling to find an alternative way to process payments and manage event tickets for my customers, Square's team is apparently sitting in the dark with no visibility into their own system failures.

The ticketing and discount features are clunky, basic functions don't work as advertised, and when things go wrong there is zero accountability. I've wasted hours on workarounds for problems that should not exist on a platform people are trusting with their business.

We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve described, and we understand how disruptive it can be when tools you rely on for payments and ticketing don’t seem to work the way you expect.

You should be able to count on clear information from support. We’ve been able to locate your account from the details you shared via Trustpilot and understand your concerns have since been escalated, so our teams can review them in more depth. That review is handled separately from this Trustpilot response, but feedback like yours helps us identify where our products and support may need to improve, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Square has met my every business need at a price I can afford to pay and feel good about it at the end of the day. Efficient reliable easy to use .. it could be fancier, true, but it also could be much more expensive. I think they cut cost in such a way that I don’t feel it, I have everything I need to be professional organized and booked! Square connects me to Massagebook and between them I am complete. Square is constantly updating, giving us new options, and refining the platform continually. Everyone recognizes square as well, I like that. It makes people feels at ease to us a POS that they are familiar with.
I have never been more organized than I am now using square. And they continue to support me with loan offers, savings, credit card .. they really offer all encompassing financial and business support, paying attention to me and my accounts in real time! I am very satisfied.

Since I began using square ive read and heard all kinds of things about it. But my first experience with some one hacking into my account and spending my money on something I didnt buy wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be.

It is the worst of all the credit…

It is the worst of all the credit processing companies. Same credit card, same way of charging, different fees. One is 3.5% the second one is 5%. Customer service representative cannot even communicate the merchant in an explanatory manner. What a joke. I stopped using it.

This is all based on my experience and…

This is all based on my experience and perception, make your own judgement. One of the worst credit card processors I have ever dealt with. 21 days to refund a client on a credit card purchase as absolutely unacceptable.

I had their service for less a couple of months, I generally don’t take CC, but for certain repeat clients I do. When I processed the refund, it said 7 days. Then I called up, and at first could only get an AI assistant, who then said 14 days for the refund.

When I finally got ahold of a customer service agent, which wasn’t an easy feat, they then tell me it’s 21 days for a refund to process.

In the 2 months with them I ran maybe 6-7 charges, but they are very high ticket items. Out of the 6 or 7 charges, 2 gave me major problems. One with me getting paid, and the second with my client getting refunded. Not a good batting average.

Don’t use this service, run away from it!!

Thanks for the review! Looking at your account, it looks like your most only refund was requested April 3 and posted on April 10. We truly understand how frustrating a 21 day delay must have been for you, and we genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We can see that this particular refund ultimately took 7 days to process, and we'd really like to learn more about your experience so we can better support you and prevent similar situations in the future.

If you'd feel comfortable sharing more with us, we'd really appreciate it if you could reach out on social media or another platform (there is no AI assistant there). We'd love to hear more about this experience and the other charge that caused you concern.

It’s a great experience overall I like that it makes it easy to send invoices estimates and offers loans that are easy to pay back automatically as you take transactions.

Absolutely terrible experience with Square

I was told by one of their agents that a dispute had been resolved in my favor. They even gave me a case number and said a manager would follow up. No one ever contacted me.
When I reached out again days later, another agent said they had no idea why I was told that — and that the dispute was actually decided in the customer’s favor. This is despite the fact that I provided official documentation from the customer’s bank confirming the dispute was resolved in my favor.
Square still took the money.
This is not just poor service — it’s misinformation and a complete lack of accountability. You can’t trust what their support team tells you, and there’s no follow-through when it actually matters.
Be very careful using this platform if you expect any level of protection or reliable support.

Reply from Square US

We’re sorry for the experience you’ve described, and we understand how upsetting it is to be told one outcome on a dispute and then hear something completely different later on.

You should be able to rely on the information our team provides, and it’s clear that the conflicting updates and lack of follow-up here have left you feeling misinformed and let down. While dispute decisions are ultimately made by the cardholder’s bank, it’s our responsibility to communicate the status clearly, explain the result, and follow through when we say someone will be in touch.

We’re reviewing your case internally using the details you provided with this review, so we can understand exactly what happened and address any missteps on our side, even if the dispute outcome itself can’t be changed. As we can’t share account-specific details in a public reply, any follow-up about your individual case will happen directly rather than here.

Thank you again for sharing this feedback, it helps us improve how we support sellers through buyer disputes in the future.
